Digital Photography RAW vs JPEG
www.FroKnowsPhoto.com This video is kicking off RAW vs Jpeg vs Ken Rockwell week on FroKnowsPhoto.com Would you try putting out a fire with a garden hose if you had access to a FIRE HOSE? That is like saying I am going to shoot JPEG when I have a D3X or for that matter any camera that shoots RAW. Did you throw out your negatives when you got them back and just keep the 4×6 to make all future prints? I certainly hope not as you would be left with not such a great file to make prints. A lot more information on its way!!!! Follow the series I have created for RAW vs Jpeg week right here froknowsphoto.com

@mateoc15 why would you say its useful? This is part of a larger series, a whole week of videos with Raw Vs Jpeg including examples and situations so on so forth. Sorry to waste your time with this video.
A LOT of production put into a video with minimal useful information.
@Mariosdog There are plenty of facts in the videos that I created. They were created to go on my web site as a full week series to explain the difference between RAW and JPEG as well as SHOW the differences in examples. It is 10 parts because I answered 10 or 11 different questions people bring up about RAW vs JPEG. The fire hose vs garden hose is making a point about FILE size. I associate with film and 4×6 to make a point most beginners will understand and most understand the association.
@JaredPolin No I stopped after watching this one. You can at least start off with some factual information and not trying to associate with film negatives and 4×6 prints which aren’t even comparable. Plus I don’t understand what the point of blasting a Ken Rockwell dummy with a fire hose has anything to do with this. I’m not a rockwell fan or anything, but at least have some more relevant stuff in your video. And seriously 10 parts? Do you really want to bore people that much?
@Mariosdog Thanks for your comment, what were your issues with it? Did you watch the full week of videos that go along with this one clip?
This is the worst video about RAW vs JPEG I have ever seen.
Arrested by the ambulance… genius.
Hey Jared great video as always :). Could you please make a video about flashes in the future? BTW….I SHOOT RAWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! :P
Loved this video, well i mainly loved the strong force from the hose
My word, the mannequin reminds me of images of hippies getting blasted by fire hoses in the 60’s.
Great episode. Can’t wait to see what’s next. :)
Polin i just got the shirt in today. nice thanks man!!!
@TOPHERHARPER Whereas JPEG collects all the color and takes the best version on your presets and records it. No going back. So, if things are underexposed, you are painting over top of the files original best guess. My fav part is boosting the fill light, You can really balance out your photo. RAW! In studio setting where you control the light, JPEG is fine, anything else RAW makes a huge difference!
Oh man! I don’t understand why people have such a hard time getting this. I would think it would help if you shoot the same thing with both and do an ultimate zoom side by side on one of the smaller objects. Also show the extra features like lens warp correction, and the sharpen and how much things can be corrected. The JPEG is clearly square pixels, whereas the RAW is more like pixels, dots of color. Also, a way I look at it, working from raw, it is like it builds the color off of black,(CONT.)
i Shoot RAW
ooh shot to the mannequin balls!
@w0ble I agree. Most edits are in post and all in lr3 so we ate non destructive. Thanks again for your feedback.
@JaredPolin True about that. But if you work in a non-destructive environment like LR then it doesn’t really matter. You still export in the end and retain your original file with all the settings.
Don’t get me wrong though, I do shoot RAW but mainly because it contains assload of data to play with in post.
@w0ble Where it comes in handy when enlarging a RAW from a JPEG is that if your jpeg has changes that were made such as over sharpening in the original file as you go huge 40×60 those type of artifacts become more noticeable than in the RAW file which when your enlarging the exported JPEG as you are right, you make the sharpening changes when you get to the final size.
Thanks for the feedback!!!!
Seriously.. what’s with the mannequin?
As for RAW, enlarging it is no different than enlarging a JPEG of the same size. Pixels are still the same (other than that RAW has more data stored per pixel which should have no effect on enlargement whatsoever), and since RAW is interpreted as pixel data, it acts the same way as any JPEG when being enlarged, and that is loss of detail. So as far as I am concerned you can’t really compare enlargement of RAW vs JPEG to film negative vs print.
It’s great that you started making vids about Raw files, because I just bought myself a camera and I have no idea how everything works and this is a good start ! I’m a graphic designer trying to learn how to take my own pictures ! So thanks for these great videos !
